Do halogens gain or lose electron when forming compounds?
gain
Does Krypton tend to lose, gain, or share its electron?
It doesn't lose or gain
How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
How many electrons will strontium gain or lose in forming an ion?
It will lose 2 to form Sr2+
When a valance shell has 7 electrons will it gain or lose an electron?
It will gain an electron so that it can complete a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
Do halogens gain or lose an electron when forming compounds?
gain
Do halogens gain or lose electron when forming compounds?
gain
How many electrons will phosphorus gain or lose in forming an ion?
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
How many electrons will bromine gain or lose when forming an ion?
Bromine will gain one electron to become Br-
Would Oxygen gain or lose an electron when forming an ion?
Oxygen will gain two electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
Does chlorine want to gain or lose electrons?
As fluorine is a halogen (the group in which the elements are more reactive as they are one electron lesser than that of the octet configuration)and hence it can only gain electrons.
How many electrons does selenium gain or lose in forming an ion?
Selenium can gain 1 electron or loss 2, 4, 6 electrons.
When forming bonds why does fluorine gain rather than lose an electron?
Fluorine gains an electron when forming bonds as fluorine is very electronegative. This behavior is due to the fact that gaining an electron gives fluorine a noble gas electron configuration.
How many electrons will sodium gain or lose in forming an ion?
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
How many electrons will chlorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Cl has a tendency to gin electrons in a reaction, this is due to the fact that it has 7 electrons already, its much easier for chlorine to gain one more electron to have a full shell than to lose 7 and have a full shell.
How many electrons does fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
How many electrons will chlorine gas gain or lose when it become an ion?
A chlorine atom will gain one electron when forming an ion. That will give the ion a charge of 1-.
